Going to be a painful 60 minutes of football in ATL! Too much to ask of this team.

I still think VT covers the spread. I always look at matchups and our strength (VT DLine) is going up against their weakness (OL - 3 starters lost and drafted in the NFL). However, with Exum out, I'm afraid Cooper is going to have a big day and look for Saban to use his big TE to exploit the void RVD-less Whip has left.

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not like the screaming passengers in his car.

Plan your trip around family, friends and Hokie Nation. Represent as we always do. Be realistic about the game at this point. I don't see us staying within 28 on this one.

I sure hope the team is not as downtrodden as many of the Tech fans seem to be. I will be at the game and will cheer loudly no matter the outcome. If the Hokies get thumped badly, I plan to hold my head high and look forward to improvement in the 11 remaining games. The bamma game will matter little if the team gets its act together by the time ACC play rolls around.

The team had issues in 2012, we made changes, we have different personnel but more returning starters from last year, we have a senior QB, we have Edmunds, and so darn sorry I am optimistic to start the year. Do you think 2012 is the new normal? Not for me with the recruits we are getting but no it does not take 5 years to get back to bcs bowls. What will this year bring, who knows but I don't go thru life negative, it is a sucky way to be to me anyways.

Can we beat bama, sure, it is possible, it will be very difficult if the espn hype machine is correct about bama but it is a win win for us, we lose then we are one of the 14 teams that bama ran over on their way to another MNC, if we win we pull off the upset of the century
